I am a GIS specialist focused on spatial analysis and environmental monitoring.
What I'm looking for
I am a GIS professional with a Postgraduate Diploma in Geographic Information Science (Merit) and a Bachelor's in Environmental Science, bringing practical experience in environmental and infrastructure projects.
I have delivered end-to-end spatial solutions—designing ArcGIS Survey123 forms, AGOL dashboards, Web AppBuilder applications and story maps at Virgin Media; performing remote sensing, LiDAR and habitat mapping work at Kenya Forest Service; and supporting ISO-aligned QHSE programs and environmental data reporting at Africa Data Centres.
I am a reliable, communicative team player with strong analytical skills, proficiency across ArcGIS, QGIS, PostGIS, Python and FME, and a commitment to applying GIS and spatial data to conservation, operational efficiency and evidence-based decision-making.
